Worked fine on my first test with a dry bottle but was skiddy (if that is a word) on wet ones. That is bottles ready to be bottled. It worked eventually but not with full confidence. I will probably buy the table top capper - if I cannot find the one I boughrt 30 yrs ago. Same principle as my first which I had to hit confidentally with a 4lb sledge hammer but not as brutal.

Started off ok, but I found that it was getting more and more difficult to align the caps properly, then it chopped the tops off a couple of bottles, then it wouldn't put the caps on at all.
On further inspection it turned out that the semi circular metal collars that fit below the shoulder of the top of the bottle had bent, which explained the recent failures and rendered it useless.

RESPONSE FROM BREWUK - Sorry to hear about your issues. Please contact customer services and we'll get this sorted for you.

This is simple to use and just works to cap bottles. I would note that because it's plastic after a while it does start to feel like parts of it are bending out of shape a bit... But it's still going so I guess I cannot complain!

Watch out for the bottles- Some have a different sized neck and those can be a pain to cap with this, but in my experience it's been able to cap anything I've thrown at it... some just took more effort than others!

The device does exactly what you'd expect. I've had a couple of mishaps but it could have been me rushing and given the caps are about 2p each, I didn't mind.
It does leave a small circular indentation in the caps. Personally it doesn't bother me but you could try Speccy's idea below if it would bother you.

I bottled four batches of beer with this capper with no problem. But on my fifth batch, the capper started to twist on the bottle making capping difficult. On my sixth batch the capper snapped the neck off the bottle as it had gradually bent itself out of shape. This left me with no option but to bottle the rest of that batch in plastic bottles and the capper is now in the bin. Not bad for the money but my one didn't last long :(

This is one of the cheaper options for bottle capping tools, and it does exactly what you'd need it to - it puts caps on your bottles! It's dead simple to use - I'd put the bottles on a towel or something, not directly on the workbench, as otherwise you may find you slip and end up with beer everywhere! I thankfully had a helper to hold the bottles while I clamped down the caps, but it's very simple. As other reviewers have said, it doesn't work particularly well with Wychwood bottles - this is not a complaint, I only had two of these out of my whole collection so it wasn't a problem. I'd definitely recommend this tool if you're looking for an inexpensive addition to your home brewery.

This capper is dead simple to use and does exactly what it says on the tin - it caps bottles! The whole affair is a quick one man job.

If you're reusing commercial beer bottles I'd advise doing a test cap on each "brand" prior to trying to to use it to to bottle your brew, just in case the neck's an unusual size. Fortunately I've found that pre-used caps, so long as they're not bent out of shape, can be used for test purposes, so you don't have to worry about wastage!

If you don't have any problems building up a supply of empty glass bottles this and a bag of caps is a good, cheap investment to to add to your bottling options.

Just capped my first ever batch of homebrew, and for the most part this device made it a breeze. As with Vires's review, I found that it leaves a little circular indentation in the center of the cap, though perhaps that's just me putting too much oomph into it.

The one downside I found is that I was reusing commercial beer bottles, and the shape of the neck of the bottle matters: specifically, Wychwood Brewery beer bottles are shaped such that it's VERY difficult (though not impossible) for the jaws of the capper to grip the bottle neck. Only discovered this after siphoning, and had no other sterilised bottles to replace them with, so had to make it work!

RESPONSE FROM BREWUK - You need a bench capper for the Wychwood bottles.

This works well - just put the cap to the magnet and then place over the bottle and pull down. I found it leaves a little circle indentation on the caps, which could be my technique. Doesn't seem to have any ill effect though.
